Raise the Hammer

Nyscof--- I read the Warren and Levy study and truely anyone that can read the 10 pages and still have a belief in fluoridation as a benefit is just not able to accept the bitter pill. The fluoridated water is just one part of the picture and the levels of total fluoride intake were very much varied and a poor predictor of decreases in caries but excellent to predict dental fluorosis. I crunched the numbers and thety show 41% of the kids haveing dental fluorosis.
They admit there is no such thing as a optimal dose and never any valid science behind the idea just theory based upon a false belief of ingested preeruptive benefit of fluoride. This false assumption from the 30-50's is still the foundation of what most dentists claim is science.
Even worse is that they also mention many of the lower income people dropped out of the study because of all the paperwook and visits so as bad as the results are we can be assured they were most likely worse in those that dropped out. In every state plus DC higher incomes predict less cavities but fluoridation does not in CDC data.
This study is sugar coated somewhat but the ugly truth stand out that fluoridation is excellent to deliver dental fluorosis enamel damage but unlikely to have any provable cavity reduction related to fluoride intake. Almost it is nearly impossible to expect anyone to even be able to know fluoride intake as almost nothing is labeled and can vary so much from each different source. But then ingested fluoride has little value so why exposure all to cumulative toxins with ZERO proof of benefit. Dr TED or mini TED Adrian do you think the Warren Levy data shows proof of benefit---Do you think dental fluorosis a good thing. I know it has been used as a excellent predictor of future bone fracture. Is that a positive?
